The Economy is Growing, Productivity is Exploding, Profits are Up, but wages are not?

Do you have any documentation to support this claim? I ask because I remember reading something many years ago that suggested Laffer and his supply-siders were, in fact, a very tiny minority, and were regarded as "cranks" by mainstream economists. We all remember Bush Sr.'s comment about voodoo economics.

Ah...you "read it". Well, I guess it must be true!

As opposed to "tcsenter said it, so it must be true"?

In other words, no, you do not have anything to support your claim. I will therefore assume it is specious.



By the way, welcome back. Before you disappeared, you made the claim that Bush did not try to connect Iraq with terrorism. When I presented evidence from the White House clearly showing you were wrong, you dodged it for a week until finally saying you would address it "in due time". Is it "due time" yet? Are you finally ready to acknowledge your claim was false? If not, I'm not sure how you can expect us to find credibility in anything else you say.

I always thought that the economy went bad because of melinium, 1,000 year mark.
A nation or world of reactionaries, caused it.
Kinda like Art Bell selling hand crank radios/flashlights like the world was comming to an end right up to a few months
before the year 2,000 then a couple months of the world might not be comming to an end, (so we don't turn on him)
then at the start of 2,000 he wasn't advertizing anything with a crank.
I know people that bought tons of canned food & filled their house. (I didn't buy any.)
Then after 2,000 they were complaining about haveing to eat beans for breakfast, lunch, & dinner until they're gone.
That same kind of foolishness hit the stock market.
People are stupid, they will kill themselves so their spirit can join the aliens in their space ship hiding on the back
side of the commet passing by.

So, the republicans didn't cause the stock market or economy to fall, fail, or rise.
People will pick back up where they left off as soon as the year 2000 brain gas has passed.
AND, it's starting to from what I hear.
One could say that the republicans kept the madness from getting worse and instigated a cure.
But on the other hand, if all republicans got a lobotomy on Feb 1 2000,
the economy still would have made a come back.

Global war with the church in the white house, spending our childrens money by increasing the national debt
at unheard of rates, removing all our constutional rights in the name of National Security,
how Bush is going to reward those companies/churches that gave him the 200 million to buy the election,
are importance issues.
